Description

Is there a reason that we can't use mouse right-click to copy/paste on this app? I notice there's an "Edit" menu for it but it's not as convenient and as fast as using the mouse.

Research direction
Look at how the app currently handles copy/paste via the Edit menu (e.g., in the menu template). Search for any existing right click handler in the renderer process. Consider using Electron's Menu and MenuItem to build a context menu that triggers clipboard actions. Test the implementation on Windows. No assignee or linked PR exists, so the issue is available.
